Chairman of CoE Committee of Ministers to visit Baku
Didier Reynders, Chairman of the Committee of Ministers of the
Council of Europe, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belgium will pay
a visit to Azerbaijan next week.
Reynders revealed his plans to visit Baku as he highlighted the
activities of the organization at the PACE spring session, AzerTac
state news agency reported.
Speaking about the conflicts in Europe, he said Nagorno-Karabakh
dispute is one of the most dangerous ones. He expressed his concern
over recent tension on the line of contact.
Reynders said he would visit Azerbaijan next week to become
familiar with the situation of refugees and internally displaced
persons.
The conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh was sparked after Armenian troops invaded large swathes of land in Azerbaijan in the early 1990s. Following bloody skirmishes, Armenia armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized and historical territory. The conflict has yet to be resolved since Armenia has systematically refused to abide by international calls to withdraw from the Nagorno-Karabakh and seven other adjacent regions.
